I am aware I can hack my way through those systems and kind of live with them. You do realize, however, that there's a bigger problem in the big picture here, though, right? That's what I'm talking about. How do we deal with *that*? Time alone won't do it. I know GNU has evolved a lot during all this time, but it's had enough time to mature enough to become as good as non-libre software. It hasn't. So what went wrong?
